“I’ve been to about 3 D’Vine locations and none of them were like this one.
This D’Vine is one of a kind! The table settings were amazing. Beautifully marbled with matching plates and napkins sets.
The waiter by the name Victor served us and he was very kind. He served us complementary falafel AND complementary rice pudding with baklava!!
We ended up getting one appetizer and the Dubai skillet cookie and it was delicious!“

“Great service food is good“

“This is a food truck with several tables available if you want to eat there or you can take the food to go. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. I LOVE this place.“

“Food was so good we ate here on our 7 day vacation in California, we drove to San Diego and drove back just to get more. 10/10 will return back when I come California again inshallah. The grill tomato with onion is so good and the meat cooked very good. Great service too, very kind staff.

Only downside is the outdated seats and tables

May Allah bless this business , Ameen ??

Dietary restrictions: Mediterranean Food is best for people with health problems , they serve low sodium food with everything cooked with olive oil instead of vegetable oil, very healthy!“

“Best meditarranean restaurant in downtown Long Beach for sure ,this place is new and already getting popular in the area“

“Made a last minute decision stop at this tiny place (after an appointment at Kaiser down the street) and was VERY pleasantly surprised! It was DELICIOUS! The air-fried falafel was UNIQUE and perfectly crunchy on the outside! It's a MUST try and I'll definitely be back.“

“generous portions and very patient and kind staff! and the food is great too!“

“We ordered this takeout. I must say, even with a 15 minute drive home, the food was delicious. The food was very, very tasty and cooked to perfection. It was a little pricey but worth it.“

“Awesome food and great service. Atmosphere is what one would expect a strip mall food joint to be. Garlic paste seemed to be house made but the harissa seemed to be sambal oulek (an Asian chili sauce) everything else is really really good, especially the rice.“

“Yala Kabab Restaurant is a standout gem for lovers of Levantine cuisine—especially for those seeking authentic Mandi, Mansaf, kebabs, and mezze served with warmth and tradition. The portions are hearty, flavor consistent, and prices family-friendly. While service flow and space may feel informal at times, the overall experience remains elevated by quality food and genuine hospitality.“

“food is good but customer service is pretty bad. went here for the first time and did not feel welcomed and worker seemed annoyed i was a little confused on how to order, but i brushed it off. now coming in again hoping for a better experience as i loved my bowl, was met with the same unwelcoming and annoyed vibe. same worker then a literal minute later was laughing in the back with their coworker and slapped one with a glove to then touch the next persons food with that same glove (i saw :/). tbh as im typing this will not be coming back to this location :/

Edit: so I came back(😭) to pickup an online order for my brother and I and I wanted to add something in person, I didn’t feel like chatting in person to make a bowl because of last time, pretty PIT with gorgeous piercings offered a drink + my extra item for free which I thought was super sweet if I changed my review :) felt a lot better coming here after the last interaction lol, thank you again pretty lady for the extras I’m sorry I don’t remember your name to give you credit :(“

“The best Mediterranean food in the area and it shows. You will not come across this restaurant randomly since it's so out of the way, you have to come look for it, and the fact that there are plenty of people who do speaks to how good it is. The potatoes are good, the gyro is good, all is good and has decent pricing.“

“Ordered pick-up because my mom loves Mediterranean food and this place was near the hospital she was staying at. They had the food ready by the time I walked down from the hospital room to my car. The order was put together and ready by the time I got there. The person who welcomed me was super nice and patient with me. It took me 15 minutes to get there and 15 minutes to drive back to the hospital, and the food was still warm. My mom enjoyed the wrap and the ice cream. I think this meal was the most she had eaten during her entire stay in the hospital. We will 100% be eating here again!“

“We love love your restaurant!! You have the best grilled chicken ever!! We dine here about twice a month. We love Paris she is a fantastic server. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience every time. ❤️“

“Absolutely fantastic food!“

“Came here for a quick bite. Ordered two bowls, Daniel was very helpful and offered us his opinion on what was good. Got half and half chicken shawarma and lemon chicken. Both tasty, I got a little of each but it’s unlimited topping. Sauces were good if you like tahini. Signed up for their rewards and already got a free lemonade.“

“Great ambiance and amazing food. I had a lot of food… falafel, spicy hummus, kafta kabob, tzatziki loaded with veggies, cheese balls, and baklava. All so delicious and fresh. I even loved the fresh pita and dipping sauce that was complimentary. From the manager and many servers, everyone was pleasant and friendly throughout my time there. I went during happy hour so the specials were great during that time. I’m definitely returning to this Mediterranean restaurant for sure. I loved it.“

“We ordered this takeout. I must say, even with a 15 minute drive home, the food was delicious. The food was very, very tasty and cooked to perfection. It was a little pricey but worth it.“

“I love the Salmon bowl! I’m attracted to the Kids eat free Mon-Thursday. I like the kids play area. It’s inside or outside. I will be back for many terrific reasons!“

“Just ate at Habibi Grill in La Mirada. the Chicken Shawerma w/hummus & taboula was Great. Fantastic flavors and garlic sauce. Definitely recommend 👌“

“First time visiting TKS with the family and they did not disappoint. Brian helped us with our order, great service from him and the crew. They have a variety of options for everyone in the crew. Whether you want something light and fresh or a hearty full meal. Fresh made and comfortable environment.“

“I ordered the cinnamon oat latte, and I'm usually not a fan of oatmilk but it was balanced so well against the espresso and the cinnamon that it didn't dominate the flavor. It was a very smooth drink, not too sweet, not too bitter, and not too strong.

My wife got the strawberry matcha latte, and while the matcha was of a decent grade and quality, the strawberry isn't a puree, nor is it like a strawberry creme or milk added in, it's an additive in powder form and she doesn't tend to like that.

Their chocolate croissant, which we shared, was heated up as requested, it came with a line of melted chocolate drizzle on top, which I think was similar to Nutella but less thick in terms of consistency. It was also topped with powder sugar, and it had an inserted line of darker chocolate, maybe 65%, so pretty balanced against the sweetness of everything else involved.

The area the cafe is located in is nice, it's a large promenade with several nicer restaurants (it's also sort of attached to it's restaurant counterpart) and there's plenty to walk around and get some shopping done or walk off the drinks and baked sweets. Plenty of parking as well, and the mall itself is only a block or two north from the cafe.“

“They have very friendly staff and the food is fantastic.“

“Very pleasant experience here! From the friendly accommodating staff, to the very delicious well prepared fish, it was a treat!! Best fish I’ve ever had! I look forward to coming back! 5⭐️“

“My first time here and I was not disappointed. From the service to the food ❤️❤️❤️. My food to start with was so fresh and so well seasoned. The steak perfectly cooked, the fries were the right about of crisp and soft in the middle, and the veggies amazing! All the sauces very delightful. The person who helped us talked with pride once I complimented the food and very well mannered and charismatic. I can't wait to come again.“

“The BEST pita chips and hummus!“

“Delicious food, I love the shish kebabs & rice! 😋“

“Alan/Yalla Truck provided the attendees at our event with the most delicious meals!
He has a fantastic menu to choose from and gave us the highest quality food and the quantity was most satisfying. His crew was efficient and professional and all through our emails and phone calls, Alan was professional and helpful.

Couldn’t ask for a better experience!
Thank you Alan! Your Yalla Truck should be in high demand.“

“when we first walked in, the staff were friendly by welcoming us, offering us a menu, and recommending their best burgers.

we ordered the swiss mushroom and crispy chicken burgers, both combo so it came with friends and we can grab our soda of choice from the fridge. the place was spacious, clean, and had a lot of tables. once our food was ready, the staff brought it to our table!

swiss mushroom burger - THIS WAS SO GOOD! their beef patty is super juicy and flavorful. i haven’t had a burger like this before that makes you keep wanting to eat it. their beef patty is really really good. everything is so balanced, not overwhelmed by the mushroom or onions and it complimented each flavors perfectly.

crispy chicken burger - the chicken was indeed really crispy and juicy on the inside. this burger tasted like a hearty meal, not too salty or bland, on the higher end than other chicken burgers i’ve tasted.

their fries were crispy and seasoned well! i recommend getting their SPICY GARLIC SAUCE to dip. it was house made and delicious.

Ali, the cashier and who brought our food was so kind and welcome, really excellent customer service. will definitely be back!!“

“REVIEW UPDATE!!!!!

YOU HAVE TO COME TO THIS PLACE!!
One of the best places in LA!!!
Today I had a Kibby plate with fatush!!!
Please come and try, you can thank me later!

When you need a Shawarma, World Famous Grill is here to deliver. The Shawarma was great and I tried the Chicken and The beef because of a confusion, at the end I won... They were both delicious and different. I'm still trying to know how the baklava was. It melt in my mouth. Next time, I will try it slower, but with the amazing taste, I doubt it will be possible.“

“My tummy is so full and happy. The staff was so very friendly (cashier). Definitely coming back!“

“Amazing food, nice friendly atmosphere!“

“la comida meditereanea esta deliciosa y el sevicio es rapido y amable. me encanto!“

“Nancy at the counter is always fast and efficient. She really knows her menu! They have a variety of plates, salads, wraps, and sides. A few of my fan favorites include the works, which comes with a little bit of everything, kafta, beef, chicken, two falafel balls and two step grape leaves. Chicken wrap is made with pita bread, garlic paste, lettuce, tomatoes, and homemade salad dressing. The sides forBesides for your wraps are pickled turnips and your choice of spicy potatoes or salad. My favorite salad would be the grilled veggie salad with protein optional it has onions, bell peppers, zucchinis, yellow squash, and corn, all grilled and topped with their homemade balsamic dressing and feta cheese. Their stuffed grape leaves and falafel are always a hit as well. I have yet to try their baklava, but that is next on my list they’re located in a food plaza, so there are a bunch of other eating establishments as well and their dining areas and restrooms are always spotless. Most of the establishments have the restroom code and Wi-Fi password posted or if they don’t, you can always ask! The TVs mainly play the news and they have connections if you need to charge your phone or laptop overall, this is one of my favorite places to eat. If you decide to go check this place out at the counter know Roxy sent you!

Vegetarian options: Falafel balls, hummus, grapes leaves, eggplant wrap, fattouche, tabouli, baba ghanoush, grilled vegetable salad, house salad, Cesar salad, Greek salad.“

“Excelente servicio y la comida deliciosa …. Pasamos un rato bastante agradable. Gracias 🙏🏻“

“I was introduced to this cozy mom and pop Mediterranean diner in HB by a coworker. Family-friendly, big portions, and the food is wonderful. It's my kind of place - a hidden hole-in-the-wall with good service and great food. I'll be back for sure - they're on my list of favorites now. The warm pitas they serve are a reason to go all by themselves!“

“Awesome food with lots of great flavor. We enjoyed our experience and definitely would recommend to others to try. 10/10“

“Best ever kabob&desserts. Quality Service Ambient Best flavor food!!! Try once & never stop😋“

“I Experienced their amazing food by “ Carry Out”. Difficult to believe one is able to pick up such delicious gourmet cuisine, by Top Chefs. Cannot wait to experience the full ambiance !!!“

“Su comida deliciosa, la atención al público excelente. me encanta visitarlo.“

“good and healthy food and very delicious too.“

“Great environment, classy entertainment and the food is very delicious with reasonable prices. And, when it comes to their service it’s outstanding“

“So this place was a random stop in for some lunch on a Saturday early afternoon about 11:30 am. It wasn’t crowded but really clean place. The parking is pretty small with some 15 minute limit right in front. We ordered the chicken plate that came with 2 chicken kabobs with rice or fries, tomatoes, onions and a side salad for about $17. We asked to split the order and Angel, the staff member, was kind and friendly to accommodate us. The food was delicious and enough for each of us. We also got the strawberry, pomegranate and dragon fruit drink which was nice and fresh. There was not wait ordering and we received our food almost immediately. We then decided to try the Dubi chocolate yogurt dessert which was so tasty 😋. This is definitely a place we’ll be revisiting!!“

“The best food, people and everything is amazing 🤩“

“My wife and I realized that we had not thought to stop here in quite a while and so we stopped for lunch today and we were immediately reminded why we like the food here so much. I like the chicken kabob wrap and my wife typically gets the chicken bowl. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food is consistently good. We will definitely have to keep the Hummus Factory on our regular list of places to visit for lunch and dinner. A photo of the chicken bowl shows just how appetizing it looks.“
